UNITED
NATIONS, July
8 -- With
events in
Egypt putting
Turkish
diplomatic
forays ever
more in
question, the
country has
gone forward
with its
attempts to
mediate
between
Somalia and
Somaliland.

Could
this
reverse things
for Turkey,
casting it in
the role of
Qatar on
Darfur
or Burkina
Faso on Mali?

As
Somaliland's
Minister of
Trade and
International
Investment,
Dr.
Mohamed A.
Omar and
Somalia's
Minister of
Interior and
National
Security,
Abdikarim H.
Guled met, it
was Free
UN Coalition
for
Access
member
Mohamoud
Walaaleye who
asked,
obtained and
sent us a
document said
to be the 1960
(ill-fated)
union on
Somalia and
Somaliland.

We put
it online here.
But why was
the UN seat
not called
Somali
Republic? Here
are the
Somaliland
side's points:

1.
SFG should
recognize that
Somaliland
reclaimed
their
independence

2.
As long as
discussion
continues for
two sides
Somaliland
should be
allocated
separate seat
during
international
conferences
concerned
what was used
Somalia

3.
Somalia should
arrest and
hand to
Somaliland all
individuals
committed
crime against
humanity, and
given
compensation
